If you can get screws in it
My first though would be zip ties...
I love zip ties.
Anyway did I mention zip ties? :>
(I hope that thing isn't to loud )

lol cant be that loud.. the case i'm using has some noise dampening material. but anyway.. i have the gtx260 fan turned all the way up and it isnt that loud...

Also you can use some 3M double tape. But if screw work I would do that.

If the fins on the northbridge are spaced close enough you can just screw right into them, wont hurt it one bit. Second best option is zip ties.

If that is your motherboard you can screw between the fins.

yep thats the one

Yeah your mobo is perfect for screwing into just position it right. You could also get an antec "spot cool" fan and point it right at the nb if your super anal.

Here is a pic of the fan I mounted on my 650i northbridge using screws awhile back (man do I miss my old system).
